Lobster and eggs make an easy, upscale brunch
By
This lobster scrambled eggs recipe comes from Chef David Burke, whose whimsical and dramatic take on modern American cuisine drew us to SoHo's David Burke Kitchen, his newest venture. The key to this dish is using the best eggs you can find, free-range and fresh from the coop if possible (scope out the egg scene at your local farmers market). Very ripe summer tomatoes will also work wonders. Do that lobster justice.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
8 farm-fresh eggs
2 ounces milk
1 1/2 pounds lobster meat, picked over for shell fragments
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons ripe tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon orange zest
creme fraiche and caviar, for garnish (optional)
